Raegan got her first pet this week. A year or so ago she had to go to the dentist for a cavity. It was a pediatric dentist so we thought he knew what he was doing. They gave her some drugs to knock her out. Then they strapped her head and arms to a board. She wasn't quite out when they did that so she screamed the whole time (45 minutes) and was terrified. Ever since she has been scared to go to the dentist (who could blame her). We got a new dentist and have been trying to get her to go. She finally agreed to go if she could get a fish. (She really wanted a small hamster that looked like a rat, but I ended that wish very soon) We agreed to the fish. She went to the dentist with us and watched me get my teeth cleaned. Then she got in the chair and did a great job. She liked it so much she even wants to go back. She will have to in order the fix the cavity the other dentist wasn't able to do because of all the screaming. Now she has a fish that is a girl and gets a name change every day. I can't even remember what it was called today. Thank goodness for bribes.

This just makes me laugh because I cannot keep track of the names of Savannah's stuffed animals and dolls. Every day they change. So funny. I am glad Raegan had a good dentist experience this time around! And hope Brielle is feeling better . . .
